@sdetweil Well I did ok until I started installing the MMM-RAIN-RADAR module again. Then I got this error message.

@N6NG Looks like you are doing an npm install MMM-RAIN-RADAR. This is not an npmjs module. In the ~/MagicMirror/modules folder you have to do a git clone https://github.com/jojoduquartier/MMM-RAIN-RADAR.git. From the github page doesn’t look like there are any dependencies to install afterward. Then just add module to you config.js and you should be good to go with it.

sdetweil

@mumblebaj he had the git clone, just added the module name to the npm install for some reason…

he seems to have fixed that…

mumblebaj

@sdetweil Ah ok. Module does not have any dependencies to install hence i thought he did it wrong way round.

sdetweil

@mumblebaj no package.json, so nothing to do and nothing gets done

N6NG

@sdetweil I did a git checkout package.json and this is what I got:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RAIN-RADAR $ git checkout package.json
error: pathspec ‘package.json’ did not match any file(s) known to git
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RAIN-RADAR $ ls package.json
package.json
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RAIN-RADAR $
I started by doing an ls package.js in the MMM-RAIN-RADAR module and it listed it there. Then I did the checkout… What does that mean?

sdetweil

@N6NG this module does not have a package.json

N6NG

@sdetweil When I do a “ls package.json” is lists one in that module but I guess it could have come from somewhere else… I’ll delete the module and start again from scratch.
Thanks
